Politicians Gone Wild


Politicians from both parties (D & R) are going wild lately. Most, it seems, believe that they should be dabbling into the personal affairs of business and private citizens - including calls for death. Sen. Grassley (R-IA) offers this recommendation: "I suggest, you know, obviously, maybe they [AIG executives] ought to be removed... But I would suggest the first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide. And in the case of the Japanese, they usually commit suicide before they make any apology."

In the same article, President Obama lambasted them for "recklessness and greed."

Uhhh.... who keeps giving them tons of money so that they do not have to face any consequences for their actions? A free market economy will not allow AIG "recklessness and greed" to prevail. Indeed, it is unlikely that it would have gotten to this point because subprime loans would not have been politically imposed upon responsible business in the first place.

Hey, politicians going wild, this is all a logical consequence of the moral relativism you have been imposing on Americans for decades now. To use a popularized figure of speech, your chickens are just coming home to roost.
